The one thing to watch out for is that the haskell-platform.cabal
meta-package doesn't mention the programs that are part of the platform,
ie alex, happy, haddock and cabal-install.
The definitive list is currently here:
http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/wiki/Library/VersionMatrix#PlatformPackages
in the column for 2009.0.0
We'll move that list to a page on it's own along with some guidance for
distros.
